Abstract

Abstract : In article number1802674, Han Young Woo, Bumjoon J. Kim and co‐workers report a water‐ethanol process for eco‐friendly fabrication of polymer electronic devices. The authors discover that water‐ethanol co‐solvents remarkably improve the solubility of the oligoethylene glycol side chain‐based electroactive materials, as compared to ethanol or water itself. This new process enables the fabrication of efficient and air‐stable organic field‐effect transistors and polymer solar cells.
